7+ yearsExperience

What does an SEO specialist do for a Perth business?

Search engine optimisation improves your website and Google Business Profile so customers find you when they search for your services. That covers the organic listings, the map pack for people nearby, and increasingly AI answers such as Google's AI Overviews and ChatGPT.

You deal directly with me, not an account manager. I'm based in Queensland and work with WA clients remotely, booking calls around WA time so it suits your day.

Total Air Conditioning

Early wins for an air conditioning business

Total Air Conditioning started their campaign in August 2026. In the first two months, non-branded clicks from Google rose from 660 to 882 compared with the two months before, and "aircon installation perth" moved from position 16.7 to 11.2. It is early days, and some of this will be seasonal as the weather warms up.

What makes SEO in Perth different

It's a big metro area with fewer competing businesses than Sydney or Melbourne, which makes it a good market to win if you do the basics properly.

01

Northern and southern suburbs

People often search by region, such as "northern suburbs" or "southern suburbs". Your profile and content should reflect where you actually take jobs, without thin copy-paste suburb content.

02

The map pack reaches only so far

Google Maps leans on how close you are to the person searching. Ranking organically is how you reach people across the metro area.

03

Seasonal demand

Trades like air conditioning see big swings through the year. Your content needs to rank before demand peaks, not after it.

What's included in my SEO

I start with whatever is holding your website back the most.

How it works

  1. 1

    Free growth roadmap

    I look at your website, Google Business Profile and the competitors ranking ahead of you, then send a one-page roadmap with the three moves likely to bring the biggest return, plus a short video walking you through it.

  2. 2

    A quote based on the roadmap

    I don't publish a set price. The roadmap shows me what's needed, then I quote. No lock-in contracts.

  3. 3

    Monthly implementation

    Content, links, profile updates and fixes, completed each month in priority order.

  4. 4

    Live reporting

    A live dashboard to check progress any time.

SEO Perth FAQs

It depends on your industry, the competition and your website. I put together a free growth roadmap first, then quote. No lock-in contracts.

Yes. We meet over video at a time that suits WA hours, you get a live dashboard, and you can call or email me directly.

Early movement usually shows within a few months. Competitive keywords typically take six to twelve months or more.

Ads bring enquiries quickly but stop when the spend stops. SEO is a longer-term investment that builds visibility you keep. Many businesses run both while rankings grow.

No, and be wary of anyone who does. What I can promise is everything gets done properly every month and you can see the results on your live dashboard.

No. You stay because it's delivering, not because you're locked in.
